Sara Ali Khan's 'Kedarnath' Faces Protests A Day Before Release, Could Share The Fate Of 'PK'

The Indian subcontinent is known as the land of diversity. As a nation, we boast of diverse ethnic, religious and linguistic differences which continue to unite us.

While the 21st century has brought along numerous positive changes with itself, there still remains a sense of agitation when it comes to religious sentiments.

Religion also seems to be getting in the way of a smooth release for upcoming Bollywood movie 'Kedarnath'. The Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput starrer, revolves around the romantic escapades of Mansoor and Mukku (a Muslim boy and Hindu girl), which seems to have unwittingly hurt socio-religious sentiments by the way of “love jihad”.

The director of the film Abhishek Kapoor, along with the film's producers are now facing protests for encouraging such cultural interactions in the film.

Trade analyst Omar Qureshi told HT that, “The socio-conditions of a country probably make the people cling more to religion”. Even so, most Indians, especially the older generation seems to be quite “touchy” about the subject.

What's more, the passionate kissing sequence in the film's teaser has called upon greater disagreements and some critics are even calling it “deliberately provocative” in nature. The agitation has since been sparking rumours of the film reviving the fate of 'Padmaavat' which released earlier this year.
